On the contrary, I think Abeille would probably enjoy being around a family who seems to care so deeply with each other and are happy to show affection (physical and not) toward each other. It’s a stark contrast to how Abeille’s own family appears to be, for the most part.

Yeah, but Aster’s family isn’t forceful about touch. They didn’t force Holly into hugs and Aster’s mother is no touch. That sounds like the kind of loving and “what you’re okay with” environment Abeille would do well in, even if only getting a new insight.
